Weiner, other Dems spar in NYC mayor's race debate - 0 Comments

NEW YORK — Former congressman Anthony Weiner fell to fourth among Democratic candidates in the city's latest mayoral race poll on Tuesday but was the center of attention in a heated debate.

Weiner used his opening remarks in the televised debate, held less than a month before a wide-open primary vote, to again apologize for his sexting scandal, which, when it re-emerged last month, knocked him from his perch atop the Democratic pack.

"I have made mistakes," he said. "They have embarrassed myself and hurt my family."
